Bruce Bennett, who with his partner Kevin Maxfield, opened J. Backlund Designs in 2007, saw Backlund's "doodled" guitar designs on a guitar forum in 2001 and, it took some time, but Bennett finally formalized an agreement with Backlund to make his "VERY exciting" retro-futuristic guitar designs.

It was nice to be able to check my email and Facebook when some tool in class would ask an extended, irrelevant, barely on-topic question (back as a laptopless undergrad I would have just counted ceiling tiles or doodled and simply wished to die), but the problem there was eventually the professor would come back to the point and move on with the lecture, but I would rarely come back with him.
